    Expert Baking Tips

    1. Pie Crust: If desired, you can certainly use a store-bought graham cracker crust instead of making your own
    1. Pie Plate: Grease a 9.5-inch pie plate with cooking spray. This will make it a lot easier to remove each pie slice.
    1. Chill Time: Once the entire pie is assembled it needs to set up completely in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

    Ingredients Needed

    Here are some notes on the ingredients we'll be using. For the full ingredients list, look at the recipe card below.

    • Graham Crackers: I used honey graham crackers.
    • Milk: I used 2%. Make sure it's cold milk.
    • Pudding Mix: You need two pumpkin spice instant pudding mixes.
    • Heavy Whipping Cream: Do not substitute with heavy cream. If desired, you could use a tub of cool whip instead of making your own.
    Ingredients needed: graham crackers, butter, salt, sugar, milk, vanilla, pudding, heavy cream, and cinnamon.

    Instructions

    Here are the step by step instructions on how to make the easiest pumpkin pie recipe.

    Step 1: Make the crust. Use a food processor to pulse the crackers into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt.

    Step 2: Freeze. Press the crumbs firmly down into a greased pie pan using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup. Then gently press against the sides of the dish. Freeze until ready to use.

    Step 3: Make the pudding. In a large bowl whisk together the milk, both pumpkin pudding mixes, and the cinnamon until fully incorporated. Set aside.

    Step 4: Make the whiped cream. In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.

    Assemble The Pie

    First Layer: Remove the pie pan from the freezer and spread 1 ½ cups of the pumpkin pudding mixture onto the pie crust (I use my silicone spatula). 

    Second Layer: Measure out 1 ½ cups of the whipped cream, carefully mix that into the remaining pumpkin pudding, and spread over the pudding layer.

    Third Layer: Use a clean silicone spatula to spread the remaining whipped cream over the top of the pie.

    Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the pie to properly set up and then serve. 

    Storing Tips

    Keep any leftover pie slices in an airtight container or use plastic wrap to cover the whole pie plate. This pie will last in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I Use A Store-Bought Crust Instead?

    If you don't want to make your own homemade crust, you can certainly buy a premade one.

    Can I Make This Pie In Advance?

    This is such an easy recipe to make ahead of time. I suggest making it the day before you want to eat it.
